Wakefield City of Sanctuary needs your help.
Each week we support asylum seekers who are here legally but have no financial support. We provide them with some food and £10-20 per week for each asylum seeker and their family, to cover food, basic toiletries and travel to compulsory Home Office appointments.
Can you help us support people in need? Here are five easy ways to help:
Give us a small amount of money each month.
A standing order helps us provide security for asylum seekers.
Do a sponsored run – Juggle, anything.
Or a one-off donation – every penny helps.
